Successful first week

www.Well, my first week back on Weight Watchers was a success - down 2.2 lbs! I kept to my goals, went to the gym, tried to eat healthy (yes, I did have pizza and chocolate cake, but I had much smaller servings then I normally would have) Still drinking my diet Zero's though ....

No sewing this week - but I do have a plan. I've been watching my favorite blog - Patchwork Times - and she gets so much accomplished each day, and I think it's because she creates lists. So I'm going to try that with my crafting - I know this week I want to work on something in yellow (a monthly challenge at that same blog). So that will head the list. Also need to go buy some more elastic - everyone has decided they need yet another pair of pj's .... and since I have plenty of flannel and fleece leftover - might as well !
Oh, and I had to share these pictures - Judy at Patchwork Times was sharing a picture of her son using a drill to open coconuts on her kitchen countertops. This is what happened to my kitchen table that was a gift from my mother - when my husband decided he and my son would make a rack for him to hang stuff on ....

When Judy's son used the drill - he finished with the countertops intact, and 12 meals to take back to school. My my husband and son were finished .... I was left with this

Of course, I'm not replacing the table until everyone is grown and out of the house !

I did finish the 2nd two pair of pj's - and now everyone wants just one more pair - so the serger will have to come out again ... but I think I ran out of elastic ... so I may just have to quilt until I can get out to buy more .... life is so tough !

They have the best prices hands down on swimsuits for the beach and pool (Swim Outlet for racing or practice suits) Yesterday I threw a couple (ok, 5) suits in the cart and a cover up or two (or three) and looked at the total ... Yikes $520 before any coupon. Now - here's the kicker ... they offered a coupon for "up to" 70% off - so I tried that ... my total went down to $300. Not bad, but more than I wanted to spend, so I searched around. Tried another code that was for 50% off everything .... and that did the trick - It subtracted $290 and I ended up paying $230 - because it took 50% off items already on sale. Win/Win. Even if it was just 5 suits it would have been less than $50 a suit, but with the added coverups - less than $30 an item. Some of the suits were originally over $80 so I'm pleased. Anyway - the code I used was 16RE6
